NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Going Concern
Pacific Alliance Corporation (the "Company") was formerly Pacific
Syndication, Inc. Pacific Syndication, Inc. was originally incorporated
in December 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. It also became
a California corporation in 1991. Pacific Syndication, Inc. was engaged in
the business of videotape duplication, standard conversion and delivery of
television programming. In 1994, Pacific Syndication, Inc. merged with
Kaiser Research, Inc.
The Company filed a petition for Chapter 11 under the Bankruptcy Code in
June 1995. The debtor in possession kept operating until December 21, 1995,
when all the assets, except cash and accounts receivable, were sold to a
third party, Starcom. The purchaser assumed all post-petition liabilities
and all obligations collateralized by the assets acquired (see note 6).
In 1997, a reorganization plan was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and
the remaining creditors of all liabilities subject to compromise, excluding
tax claims, were issued 1,458,005 shares of the Company's common stock in
March 1998, which corresponds to one share for every dollar of
indebtedness. Each share of common stock issued was also accompanied by an
A warrant and a B warrant (see note 5). The IRS portion of tax liabilities
is payable in cash by quarterly installments of $11,602 (see note 2).
Repayment of other taxes is still being negotiated.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the September 30,
1998 financial statements, the Company did not generate any revenue, and
has a net capital deficiency. These factors among others may indicate that
the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
the Company funded its disbursements using loans from an officer and other
shareholders.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company is no longer operating, and will attempt to locate a new
business (operating company), and offer itself as a merger vehicle for a
company that may desire to go public through a merger rather than through
its own public stock offering.
Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 128 for the calculation of earnings per share. This SFAS was issued in
February 1997, and supercedes APB Opinion No. 15 previously applied by the
Company. SFAS No. 128 dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per
share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company's diluted loss per
share is the same as the basic loss per share for the quarters and nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.
2. TAX LIABILITIES
The Company owes back taxes to the IRS, California EDD, California State
Board of Equalization and other agencies. The IRS portion of tax
liabilities, $137,717, bears interest at 9%, and is payable quarterly in
payments of $11,602, maturing in January 2002. During the nine months
ending September 30, 1998, the tax liabilities were reduced by $80,078 due
to the transfer of a personal tax refund from a former officer of the
Company (note 5). Other tax claim repayment schedules have not yet been
set.
Scheduled maturities of the IRS liability are as follows:
Twelve Months

-----------
$ 137,717
===========
Interest paid during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998
on the IRS liability totaled $3,330 and $18,098, respectively. Interest
paid during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 totaled
$6,072.
3. INCOME TAXES
The Company has loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable
income. The total loss carryforwards at September 30, 1998 are estimated at
approximately $55,000 and expire on December 31, 2013. Loss carryforwards
are limited in accordance with the rules of change in ownership. No
deferred tax benefit is recognized since future profits are indeterminable.

4. NOTES PAYABLE
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company contracted
notes payable with minority shareholders for a total of $30,000. These
notes bear interest at 10% and mature between January through May 1999.
Stock options were issued with respect to these notes payable (see note 5).
5. COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS
On May 28, 1997, a reorganization plan was approved by the Bankruptcy
Court. As a result, existing shares of the Company were reverse split
1-for-6 and pre-bankruptcy creditors were issued 1,458,005 shares of
Company's common stock. On November 13, 1997, an additional 5,000,000
shares of common stock were issued (after reverse split) to an officer of
the Company in return for proceeds of $25,000 ($.005 per share).
In accordance with the reorganization plan, the pre-bankruptcy creditors
were also issued 1,458,005 class "A" warrants and 1,458,005 class "B"
warrants. A class "A" warrant allows the purchase of a share of common
stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, and the warrant must be
exercised before June 8, 2000. A class "B" warrant allows the purchase of a
share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and the
warrant must be exercised before June 8, 2002.
In May and June 1998, the Company issued 16,000 and 200,000 shares of
common stock, respectively, for professional services received from
non-related individuals. These shares were valued at $0.005 per share.
Options to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock of the Company at the
price of $2.50 per share for a period of three years have been issued to
bearers of promissory notes (note 4) as follows:
Date of Issuance Number of Share Expiration Date
----------------- --------------- ---------------
January 27, 1998 10,000 January 27, 2001
January 30, 1998 5,000 January 30, 2001
May 1, 1998 10,000 May 1, 2001
May 5, 1998 5,000 May 1, 2001
In June 1998, the IRS applied a personal tax refund from a former officer
of the Company against the Company's tax liability, reducing it by $80,078.
In accordance with an agreement between the management and the former
officer, 80,078 shares of common stock were issued to the former officer in
exchange for the loss of his personal tax refund.

6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
In 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against Donald Palmer alleging breach
of contract and other claims. The case was filed in Los Angeles
County, California. The Company sought damages in the approximate
amount of $1,000,000. The defendant filed a counter claim against the
Company for breach of contract and is seeking past due rent and other
damages. As of December 31, 1997, past due rent claimed by the defendant
was approximately $150,000. The defendant also seeks damages in the
amount of $75,000 pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. The Company
is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation. The Company has
assigned its position in this matter to another entity. The Company does
not believe this litigation will have any material impact on its
future operations or financial position.
7. RELATED PARTY
An officer of the Company advanced $24,348 to the Company during the
quarter ended September 30, 1998, for a total of $37,963 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. These advances bear interest at 10% and
have no maturity date. The balance of advances is $43,463 at September 30,
1998.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Pacific Alliance Corporation (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation
which is currently inactive. The Company was previously engaged in the business
of distributing television programming. On June 23, 1995, the Company filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Case No. BK.
No. SV 95-14737 KL). On May 28, 1997 (the "Confirmation Date"), the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California Confirmed the
Company's Modified Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") and First Amended
Disclosure Statement (the "Disclosure Statement"). The Effective Date of the
Plan was June 8, 1998. Although the Company's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization
has been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company continues to operate
under the jurisdiction of the Court. The Company's current business plan calls
for it to locate and acquire an operating company.
History
The Company was organized on April 22, 1986 under the laws of the State of
Utah under the name of Kaiser Research, Inc. On December 2, 1994, the Company
changed its domicile from the State of Utah to the State of Delaware through a
reincorporation merger. In order to effect the reincorporation merger, the
Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary under Delaware law under the name of
PACSYND, Inc. After the change of the Company's domicile, it acquired a
privately held corporation ("Private PSI") in a merger transaction, and in
connection therewith, the Company's name was changed to Pacific Syndication,
Inc.
After the acquisition of Private PSI in December 1994, and prior to its
filing of a Petition under Chapter 11, the Company was engaged in the business
of transmitting television programming to television stations and others via
satellite or land deliveries on behalf of production companies, syndicators and
other distributors of television programming. Although the Private PSI was not
the survivor of the Merger, and did not exist after the Merger, pursuant to the
accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission the Merger was
treated as a "reverse merger" and, solely for accounting purposes, Private PSI
was deemed to be the survivor.
Private PSI was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in November
1991. Private PSI was formed to engage in the business of providing a variety of
television industry related services to its clients. Such services included, but
were not limited to, video tape duplication, standards conversion and delivery
of television programming by way of conventional carriers (such as UPS, Airborne
and Federal Express) and by satellite or fiber optic transmission.
Private PSI provided its clients (primarily television producers,
programmers and syndicators) with several related but different services,
including distribution of syndicated programming to television stations, program
mastering and standards conversion, infomercial
10
<PAGE>
customization and delivery, master tape and film storage, library distribution
services and video integration and delivery services. Private PSI developed its
own tape tracking and vault library management system and a system for
infomercial customization and voice-over integration.
From its inception, Private PSI was undercapitalized. It funded its
initial operations through the factoring of its accounts receivable. The Company
was unable to commence operations in the television programming services
business and ultimately, substantially all of its assets were sold and it
discontinued its operations.
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization
On June 23, 1995, the Company filed a Petition under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As of December 1995, the Company had sold most of its
assets, reduced its debt and terminated its operations. By that date, there was
no trading market in the Company's securities. In 1996, Troika Capital, Inc.
("Troika"), a Utah corporation, agreed to assist the Company in developing a
Plan of Reorganization which would provide the Company, its shareholders and
creditors with at least a possibility of recouping all or some of their
investment in the Company or the debts owed to them by the Company. Troika is a
privately-owned Utah corporation which has been involved in various company
formations, mergers and financings.
Mark A. Scharmann, the President of Troika, and now the President of the
Company, and his affiliates, were shareholders of the Company and creditors of
the Company at the time the Company commenced its bankruptcy proceeding. Mr.
Scharmann was a founder of the Company in 1986 and was an original shareholder
of the Company. At the time the Company acquired Private PSI, he resigned as an
officer and director of the Company but remained a shareholder and later became
a creditor of the Company. Many of the investors in the Company are friends and
acquaintances of Mr. Scharmann. The Company believed that if it were to
liquidate, there would be a total loss to creditors and shareholders. Because of
his own equity and debt investment in the Company, and his relationship with
other shareholders and creditors of the Company, Mr. Scharmann agreed, through
Troika, to develop a business plan for the Company and to attempt to assist the
Company in carrying out such plan.
The Plan of Reorganization developed for the Company by Troika was
essentially as follows:
1. Eliminate all non-tax liabilities of the Company through the
conversion of debt into equity.
2. Replace the current officers and directors of the Company with
new management. The new management includes the following: Mark Scharmann,
Dan Price and David Knudson.
11
<PAGE>
3. File all required Securities and Exchange Commission reports
which may be necessary to bring the Debtor current in its filing
requirements under Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. File all SEC reports
which become due in the future.
4. File any tax returns which are in arrears and file all required
tax returns and reports which become due in the future.
5. Use existing cash of the Company to pay quarterly tax payments
and for working capital.
6. Prepare and bring current, the financial statements of the
Company
7. Attempt to raise additional cash to be used to fund quarterly tax
payments and for working capital.
8. Locate a private-company which is seeking to become a public
company by merging with the Company.
9. Assist the Company in completing any merger which is located and
which the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
10. Assist the post-merged company with shareholder relations,
financial public relations and with attempts to interest a broker-dealer
in developing a public market for the Company's common stock so that the
Company's shareholders (including creditors whose debt was converted into
shares of the Company's common stock) may ultimately have a opportunity to
liquidate their shares for value in market or in privately negotiated
transactions.
The Plan and Disclosure Statement was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on
May 28, 1997. The Effective Date of the Plan was June 8, 1997. The Company
continues to file monthly "Debtor in Possession Interim Statements" and "Debtor
in Possession Operating Reports" with the the Office of the United States
Trustee.
Post Confirmation Date Activities
Since the Confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization the following have
occurred:
5. Pre-Confirmation Date non-tax debt in the amount of approximately
$1,458,000 was converted into 1,458,005 shares of the Company common
stock
6. The Company completed its audited financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997.
12
<PAGE>
7. Tax liabilities to the Internal Revenue Service of approximately
$269,093 had been reduced to $145,988.65 as September 30, 1998.
8. The Company effected a 1-for-6 reverse split of its issued and
outstanding common stock in order to establish a more desirable
capital structure for potential merger partners.
9. The Company changed its name to Pacific Alliance Corporation.
10. The Company obtained the preliminary agreement of a
registered-broker to make a market in the Company's common stock.
11. The Company filed an application for approval of secondary trading
in its common stock with the Division of Securities of the State of
Utah. An Order Granting such application was issued by the Utah
Division of Securities.
12. The Company prepared and filed a Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and this 10-QSB.
Financial Condition
Total assets at September 30, 1998 were $663, all of which was cash. The
Company intends to use such cash to pay for various filing fees and professional
fees relating to its reporting obligations and to fund the costs which may arise
from seeking new business opportunities.
The Company's total liabilities as of September 30, 1998 were $342,797
It is likely that the Company will be required to raise additional capital
in order to attract any potential acquisition partner but there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional capital. It is
also likely that any future acquisition will be made through the issuance of
shares of the Company's common stock which will result in the dilution of the
percentage ownership of the current shareholders.
Results of Operations
The Company has generated no revenues since the Confirmation Date of its
Bankruptcy Reorganization. The Company will not generate any revenues, if ever,
until and unless it merges with an operating company or raises additional
capital for its own operations. There can be no assurance that either of such
events will happen.
The Company had a net loss of $56,817 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998. The Company had a net loss of $22,258 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998.
13
<PAGE>
Plan of Operation
The Company's current business plan is to serve as a vehicle for the
acquisition of, or the merger or consolidation with another company (a "Target
Business"). The Company intends to utilize its limited current assets, equity
securities, debt securities, borrowings or a combination thereof in effecting a
Business Combination with a Target Business which the Company believes has
significant growth potential. The Company's efforts in identifying a prospective
Target Business are expected to emphasize businesses primarily located in the
United States; however, the Company reserves the right to acquire a Target
Business located primarily elsewhere. While the Company may, under certain
circumstances, seek to effect Business Combinations with more than one Target
Business, as a result of its limited resources the Company will, in all
likelihood, have the ability to effect only a single Business Combination.
The Company may effect a Business Combination with a Target Business which
may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. To
the extent the Company effects a Business Combination with a financially
unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth
(including entities without established records of revenue or income), the
Company will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and
operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth
companies. In addition, to the extent that the Company effects a Business
Combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk,
the Company will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that
industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain
industries which experience rapid growth. Although management will endeavor to
evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or Target Business, there
can be no assurance that the Company will properly ascertain or assess all
risks.
The Company will not effect any merger unless it first obtains approval
from its shareholders. In connection with obtaining shareholder approval of a
proposed merger, the Company will distribute a Proxy, Notice of Meeting of
Stockholders and Proxy Statement which contains information about the proposed
acquisition transaction. Such information will likely include audited financial
statements and other financial information about the acquisition target which
meets the requirements of Form 8-K as promulgated under the Securities Exchange
of 1934, as amended, resumes of potential new management, description of
potential risk factors which shareholders should consider in connection with
their voting on the proposed acquisition and a description of the business
operations of the acquisition target.
Troika and its affiliate will vote all of their shares of the Company's
common stock for or against any merger proposal in the same ratio which the
shares owned by other shareholders are voted. This will permit other
shareholders to be able to effectively determine whether the Company acquires
any particular Operating Company. The merger will be effected only if a majority
of the other shareholders attending the meeting of shareholders in person and/or
by proxy, vote in favor of such proposed merger. The shares of Troika and its
affiliates will be included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of
shareholders is present at the meeting.
